cavcom 0 Posted October 20, 2014 Your gonna need a switch that supports POE to power your cameras, or buy a NVR that has that built in. Hikvision makes one. Keep in mind ethernet rules apply no runs longer than 330' . A handy tool for terminating cat 5/6 in the ezrj crimp tool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boogieman 1 Posted October 20, 2014 Which camera are you looking at, what nvr are you looking at?...most good cameras support POE. Some do not. You should get cameras that support poe. Tell us which cams and how many and we can recommend a poe switch. Do not get no name crappy cameras or you will just be back complaining of problems..
